Jack Bauer had sacrificed everything in the service of his country. His wife was killed, his daughter didn’t talk to him for years, his brother and father were both traitors to the country. Nina Meyers, George Mason, Ryan Chappel, Curtis Manning, Renee Walker – lovers, colleagues, enemies and friends – all dead, sometimes at Jack’s own hand. He saved the lives of threePresidents and cost the Presidency – and forced the suicide – of another. He was, in one form or another, a central player in some of the most secret, most pivotal events this country has experienced in recent years.

Most people in the country will never hear of Jack Bauer. Those who have, will say that Jack Bauer really didn’t exist. He does exist, he was just redacted.
